Paphos Municipal pool told: fix it or hand it over

PAPHOS swimming pool has been targeted by the Cyprus Greens Party for its second-rate management. The party says the pool, which is currently under the management of the Cyprus Athletics Organisation (KOA), has been a danger zone since last winter when it was severely damaged by floods, which led a nearby stream to overflow into it. The Greens believe the pool is a valuable location where children and teenagers can socialise without any contact with trouble, alcohol or drugs. According to a press release by the Green Party “the place has been turned into a rubbish dump” and a place where bodies of dead animals lay untouched for days. The party says a recent visit also showed exposed electrical wires, which in combination with the water can be fatal to little children of the area. The Green Party is demanding that if KOA and officials don’t want to fix it they can return the over to the government, who could make better use of the venue
